This is the Leslie Henry #12M Pickup Truck originally issued in the 1950s in pale blue. It is 99mm long, 33mm wide and 34mm high.

It is a one piece casting with all detail such as grille, bumpers, lights, body lines and trim, etc. cast into the metal. There is no glazing or base to the model. On the under-side the model carries the legend "No. 12M, Made in" cast on two lines under the rear body tray area. The mold number "2" is cast under the engine cover area. The country of origin has been blocked out, which is one of the few ways to tell the Leslie Henry model from the Londontoy model.

The wheels are made of solid rubber on steel axles that pass through the wheels and are pinch-clamped to the flat columns that protrude from the body of the model.
